The downfall of Fox Footy.

[1989]

Something that's been bugging me for a while.

Why does Garry Lyon yell so much in the gameday coverage?

It's annoying. It's often a cover up for a lack of substance in his commentary.

He'll yell things like "THE GEELONG FOOTY CLUB TAKING ON THE BRISBANE LIONS FOOTY CLUB" that provide absolutely nothing.

Seven's coverage is as flat as a tack, but there's no need for the over the top yelling.

 

[Cleavy]

no longest kick comp on GF day this year?

 

[Mentallo]

Prob can't afford to have one.

 

[Section226]

no longest kick comp on GF day this year?

It's still happening.

Only difference is Dunstall and and the other commentators will be calling it from the studio......

 

[enzso]

no longest kick comp on GF day this year?

The spot they do it on is a massive construction site at the moment

 

[Section226]

Sick of the dramatically-voiced video packages that seem to be a daily event.

Just stick with the radio / tv commentary and do away with the voiceover rubbish.

Hutchison’s company at the centre of footy media shake-up

Craig Hutchison is set to feature on Seven next year as his production company, Rainmaker, expands its relationship with the Kerry Stokes-controlled network.

For a Geelong game or two next year, they could have Huddo, Gerard and Moons lead a Geelong biased call just like the press red for Ed games back in the day.

Don't forget Derrrrrrwayne "Drown em' in your honey Mott's" Russell.

Maybe he could just sit in the corner watching giving himself a hand solo.

That put Hawthorn Radio to shame

Two Matthews (Lloyd and Richardson) heading to Fox?

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Richo is living proof that as long as you were good at footy you'll always have a job, despite having a single digit IQ.

I actually like Lloyd. Good analyst, doesn't go over the top with criticism and is relatively unbiased.

Finger on the pulse again. Nothing I want more on GF eve is live Bounce followed by three repeats of Bounce.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Finger on the pulse again. Nothing I want more on GF eve is live Bounce followed by three repeats of Bounce.

All I want to do is drink approximately 11 standard drinks, fall asleep on the couch watching 1996 gf, wake up at 2.30 watching 1990 highlights, doze till 630, get silent treatment from the bride, keep watching during breakfast, crack a can at 9.30 and roll into the day.

Is that too much to ask?

 

[Partridge]

Don't forget Derrrrrrwayne "Drown em' in your honey Mott's" Russell.

Maybe he could just sit in the corner watching giving himself a hand solo.

Fairly short odds he does that already I would have thought.

it's the worst thing about GF coverage. so much pre-game and junk. it was better when they had u19s and reserves finals.

 

[Dropkick99]

It's the best we have, wish they'd put on my all games though. Gerad and Robbo being woke and giving uneven time to AFLW and whatever outrage event is front and center this week sucks though
